 Available light. Editing included cropping and contrast.

The worm was about a foot long and the back end had looped around and crossed over itself. I had never seen a creature like it before. Thought it was some sort of centepede. Turns out it was a fireworm.

This is an incredible picture!! Extremely sharp (especially for being underwater.) Nice color and composition. Love the stones. Kinda creepy, though!

Interesting subject, pity you've lost some detail of the fireworm's body throughthe bright overhead sun.

Yup it's an X it's crisp and has nice colors to boot. Not Xtremely interesting to look at however. But still a good image. I wonder if the creepy, crawling, squiggly things will hurt your score much.....

One of my pet peeves: Being defensive of your efforts in the title.
Interesting animal, though! Never heard of or seen one.
